Zusammenfassung:Pentecostalism is a fast-growing religious movement that has over a half a billion adherents, and its leaders are increasingly gaining influence on the global scene. Yet, little has been done to empirically investigate its leadership distinctives. This article seeks to fill this gap by exploring Pentecostal leadership cross-culturally using a qualitative phenomenological inquiry into the meaning of leadership among Pentecostal leaders in Singapore, Norway, and the USA. We articulate an understanding of Pentecostal leadership which looks at both its constituent elements (i. e., derived leadership, spirituality as core, divine and human agency in interaction, sensemaking leadership, and ambivalence and tension) and develop a conceptual framework which binds these together into a coherent schema-one that suggests a delicate interplay between leader, follower, and the sublime. Further, we relate this unique approach to the larger field of leadership studies and make implications which can inform and broaden Western rationalistic approaches to leadership.
